and you go to the Church to worship that the Priest doth hold above his head, which is but bread, and if you cast it to the Mouse, he will eat it: and said, that he would never believe that the Priest hath power to make his Lord. Item, it was testified by another sister named Alice Ryburne, that she being with her brother in a close called Brimmers close, heard him say these words: That a time shall come that no elevation shall be made.¹ Whereunto she answering again, asked: and what service shall we have then? He said: that service that we have now. Furthermore, the said John Ryburne was accused upon these words, saying: that the service of the Church was nought, because it was not in English: Foresaid he, if we had our Pater noster in English, we would say it nine times against once now, &c. Ex Regist. Lincol. fol. 300. ¶Note here out of the records of the register, that in this examination of John Ryburne, first his two sisters, then his own wife, and at last his own father ⟨p. 985⟩were called before John Longland Bishop of Lincoln, and compelled by his oath to depose against him. John Longland Bishop of Lincoln Richard Ryburne. | John Eaton Sicily his wife. At Rosheborough. An. 1530. | John Eaton, and Sicily his wife, of the parish of Spine,² were detected by Richard Ryburne, that they were marked of certain in the parish on the sunday then last past, in the sacring time, to hold down their heads, and would not look upon the Sacrament. Item, in the feast of exaltation of the holy cross, when the bells did ring solemnly, between Matins and high Mass, for saying in a butchers house, what a clampering of bells is here? Item, the said John Ryburne was detected of Richard his father, for saying these words: The priests do naught, for they should say their service in English, that every man may know it. Item, for these words speaking to one of his sisters:³ The sacrament of the altar, is not as they take it to be. But if it be, as I trust, we shall see none of them holden up, one of these days, over the priests head, &c. Item, for saying, that the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ hath made satisfaction for all ill deeds that were done, or should be done, and therefore it was no need, to go on pilgrimage.
